Oh, yeah.  At first I thought it was just a truck going by, then it picked up in intensity and my house was moving back and forth, east to west.  I've lived through so many of these things I hardly think about them any more!

I just spoke to my wife and son who are vacationing in Anaheim at her parents ..
My wife was in the shower when it hit  :bandance; , She got out and stood in the doorway and
my son ran around looking for his racoon :urcrazy; (stuffed animal)

Being from So Cal myself  I have been thru a lot of earthquakes . I spent the Whittier quake at work
watching my trucks bounce from wheel to wheel . I went thru the Northridge 6.8 on the 2nd floor
of an apartment building and the big one in Sylmar on the top bunk of a bunk bed
on hardwood floors .   
Everyone is okay though  I hope everyone else did got thru with minimal damage also.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Flipping off kidney disease since 2008

Yeah, it was a pretty good shake... 5.4, big enough to move my bed a few inches, but nothing compared to the Northridge quake (7.3) If you've lived through the Northridge quake like me, then a 5.4 doesn't seem so scary  ;D

Luckily, most of the damage is minor... although the damage is still being assesed

It shook pretty good here - got my adrenalin pumping!
I too was stepping into the shower - it did pass through my mind that I might have to sprint out the door nude, luckily the rolling quit before I embarrassed myself.  :shy;
Cell phones were knocked out for awhile but seems ok now.

I was sitting in my wheelchair in the backyard when it started to shake here in W.L.A.  My fearless dog (lab/chow mix) was sleeping by my side and got up to bark ferociously at the car in the garage (on jack stands) when it started to shake and dance.  Glad I wasn't on the 5th floor at dialysis today!
